Hey Starseeker, don’t forgive ! You’re not far to success ^^

Create a blueprint with a box component ‘not a mesh !!!’ as root and an empty mesh added. Create the “begin focus” / “end focus” / “on used” functions in it. In your character, set your “cast to” to the new blueprint in your “get usable actor”. It would be ok.

Thanks, you have been most helpful.

I will try later. So its a box component, not a box mesh, I see. Silly me.

Edit: I can’t get your suggestion to work. I do eventually found a solution (but the solution means I can’t get physics to work, its another thing for another day, as I am moving on).

Just to share, I went back & look at the blueprint content examples project ,under blueprint parent-child, the one with the heathbar as parent, & cupcake as child.

In the pickupblueprints, It used a Swapmesh function node inside contruction script. This allow the swapping of Static mesh at creation. I put this function in & input a staticMesh vaiable MeshToUse (to exchnage the original mesh), & it worked!

But because its a Static mesh, not static mesh compont, Physics is disable. Its not a big deal for my game, so I am satified with teh solution & movng on my next step in leanring UE4.

But thanks anyone, & Tom for the help & tutorial.
